ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
To assess the efficacy and safety of collagen matrix implant (Ologen) in phacotrabeculectomy.DESIGN:
Prospective, non-randomized, comparative study.PARTICIPANTS:
Sixty-six Asian patients.METHODS:
Thirty three consecutive patients underwent phacotrabeculectomy with Ologen implant and intraocular lens implantation, and 33 subjects recruited as controls underwent surgery with mitomycin C augmentation. MAIN OUTCOMEMEASURES:
The primary outcome measure was postoperative intraocular pressure at month 12. Additional postoperative treatments, such as bleb needling, and adverse events were secondary outcomes.RESULTS:
The overall percentage reduction in intraocular pressure was 13% (95% confidence interval 6.7-19.2) in the Ologen group and 26% (95% confidence interval 14.8-37.9) in the mitomycin C group (P = 0.05). At 1 year after surgery (after adjusting for baseline differences), intraocular pressure decreased by 4.2 mmHg (95% confidence interval 2.8-5.6 mmHg) and 5.6 mmHg (95% confidence interval 4.2-7.0 mmHg), respectively (P = 0.16). Needling with 5-fluorouracil was required more often in the Ologen group (39% vs. 6%; P = 0.003). There was similar frequency (<10%) of adverse events in both groups, and there were no complications directly related to the Ologen implant. The blebs in the mitomycin C group had greater central area (P = 0.005), maximal area (P = 0.01) and height (P = 0.005), and were less vascular (P = 0.023) than the Ologen blebs.CONCLUSIONS:
At 1 year, the overall performance of Ologen in combined phacotrabeculectomy was suboptimal compared with combined surgery with mitomycin C. Eyes in the Ologen group required more frequent bleb needling procedures.Palavras-chave
